Step 2Arrange Peices
Lay the strips in the arrangement you want them for the mat. Line up the edges.
Pay attention to color, width variation, tag placement, to create a balanced and pleasing mat. Trim all pieces to the same length, I matched the length of the shortest waist band, about 32".
Be sure to trim away the buttons from the waist bands, as they are very uncomfortable to sit or stand on.
Save enough inseam material aside to edge the entire mat. I used both inseams from a pair of pink jeans to do this, for contrast and a splash of color. For a more colorful mat, You can dye your materials with standard fabric dye. I recommend dyeing pants prior to dismantling them. The dyeing process requires washing, which will heavily fray cut denim.
for directions on efficiently dismantling pants, see the instructable link in the intro.
